Referral Program FAQ's

How do I signup?
First, in order to accrue referral, you need to create a buySAFE account.

Once you have an account, access your Referral Program dashboard by logging into your buySAFE account (from www.buysafe.com, click on the "login" link and enter your account info). Once you are logged in, access the Shopping Advisor Referral Program tab.

From your personal Referral Program dashboard, you can:

• Access your unique Referral code that you should be using to refer users.
  This is the code that allows buySAFE to track your referrals.
• Promote Shopping Advisor on your site with our referral graphics.
• Select to donate your rewards to charity or collect your rewards via PayPal.

After you've made at least one successful referral, the dashboard will reveal how many visits, downloads and installations your referral activities have generated. You can also review rewards you have accrued, your previous payments and up-to-date balance.

How do I redeem my rewards?
The referral bonus will be credited to your account after each referral installs Shopping Advisor, up to 10,000 such bonus payments.

Every Referrer who has earned total referral bonuses of $25 USD or more will be paid via a direct payment through PayPal during the first week of every month. Payment processing may take up to 72 hours.

If you are not yet a PayPal user, you will need to register with PayPal to receive your funds. Payments will be sent to the email address used to register the Shopping Advisor that was used for the referrals. PayPal allows for multiple emails, should you need to add a new valid email to receive your funds.

The minimum bonus payment buySAFE will pay is $25.00. In other words, a Referrer must make enough referrals to earn at least $25 USD before a bonus payment will be sent. If a Referrer does not match the minimum in a given month, then the accrued bonus is moved to the next monthly cycle until the Referrer has reached the $25 USD minimum.

How do I donate my rewards?
If you select to donate your rewards, buySAFE will automatically donate your accrued rewards at the end of each month to the charity you selected and your balance will be reset at the end of each month. You can at any time select a new charity from your dashboard or select to redeem your rewards by using the choice pannel from the Referral Program section of your buySAFE user dashboard.
